ECR Spotlight – Areej Alansari

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Areej Alansari is an author on ‘ Navigational behaviour of Lymnaea stagnalis in response to prey and predator odours and flow’, published in JEB. Areej is a graduate student in the lab of Russell Wyeth at St Francis Xavier University, Canada, investigating how Lymnaea stagnalis and other gastropods navigate through unique aquatic environments.
